Sean's 1/6 Bantha project

[SpaceCrawler]

To go along with my Tusken Raider I started to make his Bantha...

Here it is, all finished! Ha, just joking... Started off with a wire armature made of left over electrical wire. This served mainly as a guide to build the horns so I could gauge the size of the horns. Used armature wire and cardboard tubing to make the shape of horns:

Then used plaster bandage over the cardboard "horns" to build a solid shape:

Then smoothed horns out with plaster and started making ridges:

Then made the wooden armature:

Made his feet out of Sculpey (they look much better in person):

With Sculpy face:

More to come...

My Tusken Raider says "Hurry up already, I got places to go, people to see!"

Sean, my Tusken is itching for an update…anything????

Are you sure that's why he's itching?

Maybe his wrappings came loose and some sand got in his trousers...
